When it comes to men’s fashion, Italian fashion is often the yard stick of chic worldwide.

Italian fashion has evolved over centuries to be a global authority in the fashion industry. This success story is not as easy as it sounds. In fact Italy just like many other countries used to look to the west for the latest fashion. Men used to get their fashion designs from Paris and London.

However, after World War II, the Italian government began to seek for ways to ensure that the country does recover from the effects of the war by re building the economy. The craft products such as men Italian shoes and leather products that were aimed for the USA market were developed.

It may come as a shock to some that there is really no such thing as "Italian food": each region of Italy is known for particular ingredients and a certain style of cooking. Tuscan food is hearty and straightforward. It's simple--flavorful, but not showy or fancy. Fresh, high-quality ingredients are necessities, and such concepts as "artisanal" and "free range" are second-nature to most Tuscans.

The island of Sicily is undoubtedly one of the most attractive destinations in Italy. It is a popular resort with incomparable beauty supplemented by a rich cultural and architectural heritage.

What makes Sicily particularly unique is its blend of cultures and nations which can be attributed to the region’s rich history. Over centuries Sicily has seen a succession of rulers including Normans, Phoenicians, Arabs, Greek, and Romans just to mention a few. There are many remnants of Phoenician settlements, Greek temples, Norman castles, Punic cities, and even Aragonese churches all over the island.

If you are looking for a great place to explore the finest Italian food look no further than Tuscany. The region is particularly recognized internationally for its delicious gourmet dishes. It is a great place to sample the simple, pure, and natural Tuscan cooking.

Italy receives very many tourists every year mainly because it’s a country steeped in history and has exacting traditions and culture. In particular, Rome, the capital of Italy, is the eternal city of the world, with its lost empires, the magnificent history, the amazing buildings and the trendy life.

As a matter of fact, there is no doubt that Rome is one of the most ancient and historic cities of Europe, if not one of the entire world. Formerly it has been the administrative capital of a world governing empire, the Roman one, and this gives it an upper hand especially when looking at tourists who are interested in learning more about world history.
